I hear ya on the sorting and going through handed down boxes of memories. My problem is the sentimental thoughts that go through my head as I look through my Gram's or my Mother's belongings. I know some of the items are antiques and some are just momento's, but I sit and recall warm fuzzy memories of those ''items'' being in their homes years ago.

I also know that someday, my DD will not know what to do w/this stuff in my basement, but it's hard to know what to do with it. Right now, it's all in boxes on shelves in the storage area down there. DH wants me to go through it, but I'm just not ready to purge those items yet. Maybe I'm just being lazy!!! That's probably it.

(LMAO at the the milking cows and laundry comment, B2!!!! Now, that's funny, but soooo true!)
